Vile Palestinian Commentary....

media outlets controlled by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah party the past few days have been using racist rhetoric in their reports, referring to the American representative as the "black woman," "raven," "colored dark skinned black lady" and "black spinster."

Alright, Palestinians have proven over-and-over not to be the brightest people on the planet but they also published this piece of crap...

Condoleezza Rice depicted in Al Quds as pregnant with a monkey. The image's caption read, "Rice speaks about birth of new Middle East."

Ok. So they don't like Americans, I can handle that. I can handle some of the hateful shit they spew out on occasion. They are a vanquished people and they rightfully deserved to be, so they are also an angry people. But this just shows how juvenile they are and how they have sunk down to become a vile, spiteful, hateful, useless people.

While there, she made a few statements mildly critical of China's belligerent "Anti-Secession Law" aimed at Taiwan, and urged the Chinese government to embrace more democratic virtues. Many Chinese burst into racist tirades against African Americans in general and Secretary Rice in particular on many of China's government-sponsored Internet BBS forums. "Black b***ch!," "woman n**er," [should be n***er] "Americans IQ is so low that they have chosen a black b***ch to be their Secretary of State," "Rice is nothing but a lackey of the American hegemonism," are among the ugliest racist commentaries that remained uncensored by the otherwise ubiquitous Internet police in the world's most monitored cyberspace.

If these racist outbursts reflect some extreme tendencies among the extreme elements in China's society, internalized chauvinism in China's popular culture remains pervasive among ordinary Chinese citizens. The Chinese government in its vigorous campaign of "Patriotism Education" strongly endorses "patriotic songs" that blatantly advocates chauvinism.

It seems as if this extreme nationalism allows people to think that they can respond in a juvenile and childish manner. But a better explanation, particularly when it come to this type of international political response is that people just do not have an intellectual argument against what is being dealt with, so they descend to a lower level and feel compelled, probably without regret, to poke at race.
